Come to think of it, if we don't set a shortest time limitation somehow, we can end up opening a bunch of new connections nearly simultaneously, just to reset them right after. That doesn't sound like very friendly behavior; is that acceptable? -- Pierre Ynard "Une âme dans un corps, c'est comme un dessin sur une feuille de papier." ------------------------------------------------------------------- List admin: http://cool.haxx.se/list/listinfo/curl-library Etiquette: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/etiquette.html
